Thanks for the response Barely,
I will have to look into this Bio-Active alot of people seem to like it.
Do you use potted plants in your enclosure, or have you figured a way to maintain them in the substrate?
What species of wood do you use for your branches? Where do you buy/collect them, and how do you affix them in your enclosure?
I know what you mean about the "Don't worry a larger cage is coming" syndrome, I've seen it many times through the years as well. I've seen that keeping juveniles in little tanks and tubs is a common recommendation in many care sheets, hence why I asked.

Thanks for clarifying this Gungirl, after some more searching and reading I found the scorched PVC tutorial. I may consider doing this depending on what kind of natural wood alternatives I can find.
Again guys, Thanks a bunch for your help!
